Oncology (General Cancer)/Ob-gyn vs. dermatologisit for care

QuestionFor vulva lichen planus, lichen sclerosis, and checking for vulva cancer, is it best to get a biopsy from a dermatologist or ob-gyn? Thanks

AnswerThey are about equally good for this. The changes are in skin structures, so part of dermatology. But the locality is part of gynecology. Your choice should follow what you are most comfortable with. Good luck!
